Figure 25 shows a typical SCADA PCM multidrop bridge network.
Figure 25 SCADA PCM Multidrop Bridge Network
The PCM multidrop bridge application uses Mu-Law and A-Law encoding; therefore, 
the modularity is different from MDDB modularity. Table 22 shows the modularity for 
a PCM multidrop bridge on the Integrated Services card.
